I am working on various optimization changes for sourcemage and will write an article on my findings later. For now you may find them at http://global.phoronix-test-suite.com/?k=author&u=sandalle sandalle — 2 months ago

I've submitted some new archspecs for GCC 4.3+ to our archspecs git repository for core2 and nocona chipsets in sourcemage for both x86 and x86_64. x86_64 already has these used by default with the -march setting, but x86 will now use sse for the math unit rather than the default 387, which should give a considerable math speed boost and stability, but may break existing applications. I'll be testing core2 on the boxes I have and making a new minor release of smgl-archspecs if I don't run into any issues. sandalle — 2 months ago

We've also merged X.org 7.6 (except for libxcb, which breaks a lot with their .la archive ABI change) into test for sourcemage. sandalle — 2 months ago

Updated GCC (except for Ada) to 4.4.0 in the devel-gcc branch of sourcemage. Basesystem, at least, seems to build fine with GCC 4.4.0, but will need more testing (and Ada updated) before going to test. sandalle — 2 months ago

Updated glibc's default kernel headers from 2.6.25 to 2.6.29 in sourcemage and it now uses headers generated from the vanilla linux source rather than pre-packaged headers. sandalle — 2 months ago
